Installation and controls - continued
Fit wheels (continued)
Slide the first castor base between the formed slots
in one of the corner plates.
Line up the hole in the castor base with the screw
hole in the corner plate and fasten the castor in
place with a screw and spring washer (Figure 3).
Repeat for the other three corners.
Return the appliance to the upright position.
Switching on
It is advisable to allow the freezer to stand 12 hours
before switching on to allow the internal gases to
stabilise.
Plug the freezer into a nearby mains outlet socket
and switch on.
Set the temperature control to the middle of its
range then switch on FAST FREEZE (Figure 4) and
allow the freezer to run empty for about two hours
before filling with food.
Indicator lights
See Figure 4:
O Green – Power
Light stays ON as long as the freezer is plugged
in and switched on at the mains.
O Orange – Fast freeze
Light comes ON when the fast freeze function is
selected (see below).
Temperature control
The temperature control (Figure 4) switches the
appliance on and off and sets the cooling
temperature.
To switch the cooling cycle off, e.g. when defrosting,
turn the rotary knob fully anti-clockwise until it clicks
into the 0 position. The coldest setting is 6.
A setting of about 3 is usually adequate for general
domestic use.
It is advisable to place a freezer thermometer (not
supplied) inside the freezer to check that the
temperature is maintained at –18°C to –20°C.
Note: The setting on the thermostat control is
dependent on room temperature. If the temperature
inside the freezer is above –18°C to –20°C, adjust
the thermostat control towards its coldest setting.
Fast freeze
Use the fast freeze function when freezing bulk
quantities of fresh food. Switch on the fast freeze
function using the control switch (Figure 4).
When the switch is set to 1 (ON), the temperature
controller is bypassed and the compressor runs
continuously which cools the cabinet well below the
level set on the temperature control. There is
therefore no need to adjust the temperature setting
when using fast freeze.
When fast freeze is switched ON, the fast freeze
switch will be illuminated.
When fast freeze is no longer required switch it off
to minimise power consumption. The temperature
controller will then take over and regulate the
cabinet temperature as normal.
Notes on operation
During normal operation the following noises may
be heard:
O Stifled murmur from compressor when it is
working.
O Soft gurgling from the coolant flowing through the
cooling system.
O Click from the thermostat switching on and off.
